Do we allow life changes in our relationship with god to spark the growth of faith in others? This is what the gospel is challenging us to do today. We learn from a sign.
Your faith, my faith, is strengthened by each of us; our faith is a sign seen by others. What attracts others is the love that is seen, the gifts we have as a community, and the generosity with which we share them.
When we pool talents, the wonderful thing called “community” happens. We have, in our pooled giftedness exponential power. We have the spirit of God within us. Our gifts do not diminish us in the giving. We ourselves grow in giving.
If God deals in 25-gallon jars, it is ever right for us to deal in half-pints? God’s self-gift calls for our response to be extravagant.
As Mary was the catalyst at the first sign in Cana in Galilee, may we be the signs/the catalysts where we live, labor and love every day.
